Cellar 152
Former financial manager Mark Wayne and his wife were looking for that
small-town feel when they settled down in Clarkston, Michigan, but it's
nothing like the atmosphere in Elk Rapids. "Elk Rapids is like small town
on steroids," he said. "When we found out about Elk Rapids, we couldn't
have been happier. Elk Rapids is a wonderful place."
Wayne didn't simply want to visit Elk Rapids, though. He wanted to be
involved and to make an investment. Last year he purchased the Elk
Rapids Wine Shop. This year he's opening Cellar 152, a destination spot
where people can come together to enjoy conversation, food, and ­ of
course ­ wine.
Featuring seating for 20, free wi-fi, and weekly events throughout the
year, Wayne hopes visitors will make Cellar 152 their home away from
home. "We're creating a place where people can come relax and hang
out," said Wayne. "It will be their "third place" ­ home, office, and
Cellar 152."
And for the wine lover? More than 400 wines from roughly every region
in the world, but not just any wines. "These are high-quality wines that
may not have the notoriety of more expensive wines, but they have the
same texture and quality," said Wayne. "We can help someone find an
$80 bottle of wine quality for $20 because it happens to come from
Argentina."
Whether you're stopping in for a drink, settling in for the evening,
or planning a private function in the lower level grotto, Cellar 152's
industrial/vintage atmosphere and modern conveniences will make it a
favorite spot to enjoy the highest quality wines from around the world.
